hi all

have 2 x Optima D34M ("blue top") deep cycle batteries (marine battery with extra terminals)

test fit them for a project for about a day, then decided not to go ahead

batteries are a bit over a month old, and am trying to recoup some cost :thumbsup:

have remainder of a 2 year warranty (about 23 months or so), just need to dig up the receipt

more info here:

and

http://www.optimabatteries.com.au/Content/...D34M_082104.pdf

they weigh 20kg each, so it's pretty much pick up only

R $270 each / I $300 each

RRP = $445

cheapest i can find is $325 plus shipping here: http://www.keoghsmarine.com.au/product_det...g_ProductID=509

cheers

hi. im interested. but i have 2 conditions.

it needs to fit my custom battery holder which was made/shaped to fit the yellow d34 which seems to be the same as what u have

other condition is , it needs to start the car from the boot. if its really only a couple months old it shouldnt be a problem

i will pm u my number. gimme a call asap. im free 24hr/7 days

these are still acid batterys arent they? so not suitable for in-cabin?

they're 100% sealed and maintenance free

this quote from the website leads me to believe in cabin use should be OK:

Nonspillable Maintenance Free

The OPTIMA® is spill-proof and maintenance free. Because of its completely sealed case, OPTIMA® batteries are extremely safe. Acid can't leak or spill, making them clean, user-friendly and environmentally sound. In addition, the maintenance free sealed case design eliminates the need to add water or clean terminals.

OPTIMA® Blue Top batteries are spill proof, so they can be mounted anyplace inside a boat or RV, in almost any position.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
